Join Silver Specialist Kier Alexander as she discusses the Silver market with insights on how professional valuation services can become a useful tool for documenting a collection from Head of Business Development James McNaught.
With political and global uncertainty, the price of silver has hit a record high. For collection management, though, it is still very much a fashion-driven market.
Without a plan, collections can become overwhelming. Provenance records get scattered, valuations become out of date, storage is overlooked, and future planning drifts. Professional valuation services bring clarity and structure. Our approach at Lyon & Turnbull is always collaborative. Whether guiding a family with a vast private collection, or advising on the sale of a single masterpiece, we see ourselves as long-term partners in stewardship. For many of our clients, art will remain both a passion and a responsibility and, increasingly, an important financial consideration. As collections grow in size and significance, so too does the need for careful planning.
As Scotland’s oldest and largest auction house, we pride ourselves on sourcing rare and interesting Scottish silver. The spectrum of this field is vast and can reflect societal fashions and how they change over time.
